 The following is a production of New Mexico State University. We're at David Allsford's Blue Lake Ranch Bed and Breakfast near Durango, Colorado. David shows us gardens around the guest casitas, including some that are designed to require no irrigation. This garden is not irrigated. This garden is not irrigated. This is what you would call a zero-escape garden. It's all drought-tolerant plants, and yes, I did it water it when I first planted it. Since then, we've just relied on Mother Nature. I see a lot of color even here in the Blue Sheep Fescue Grass, which is steel blue. The Yarrows blend nicely with it. You've got lavender, as I look through here, cactus, yucca. There's a lot of diversity in here, so you have a lot of things at other times. What is this one? This is Salvia Turkestania. I thought the deer didn't like it, but I was wrong. They like their sage, too, don't they? They sure do. As I walk through, I see a rubber rabbit brush. In New Mexico, we call it Chimisa. Beautiful in the fall. Russian sage. Gorgeous now. A lot of people consider this a weed, the mullin. We've kind of used it as an ornamental, but in about a week or two, just before it goes to seed, we'll come out and cut the seed tops off. We've got it under control, and I think it turns out to be a beautiful plant. It's an interesting plant, so if you know how to manage it, it works. Well, this is an interesting garden. So you've got the one with the historic hollyhocks. Now you've got a zero-escape garden. I imagine your guests really love walking through the gardens. They do. There's a lot of great smells with these deer-resistant plants, with a lavender and tines and different things. Some of these are pretty deer-resistant, but deer seem like they'll eat almost anything. We're trying. We're experimenting. I'm glad you're doing it. We'll someday learn what they'll avoid, and thanks for your help in that. But also, thank you for this tour. My pleasure. Come back. The preceding was a production of New Mexico State University.
